Ok...guys had to share this one with you! You know I'm all about the bling and Bamboo Pink has definitely got it going on! Besides that I can resist a ground floor opportunity with such fabulous women! Check it out and sign up...you don't have to spend any money or make any commitments. Always worth it in my book!! Check out some of my favs below!!

Its Wild Wednesdays...and you know what that means...wild about color!! How about REDS today! Red use to be my signature color and kind of still is. I have had red bathrooms, red bedrooms, and lets not forget your staple (around here anyway) red dining roooms! Of course there were other colors mixed in because I'm just not sure I could handle all red. Take a look at some of these and let me know what you think! Some I could totally live with, other's not so much! Never the less, you have to admire anyone that can go with all out red! Last but not least, who can resist a fabulous pair of Loubatin heels with their signature red soles?! Not me but of course at $900 I'll have to buy some look alikes and paint the soles red myselfy!!!! Do you have a signature color?

Ok...been sick! That so stinks!!! Especially since we are having the most beautiful weather around here. Windy, but the sun is shining and spring is here! Of course that actually makes being sick even worse! So thought I'd bring the sunshine in...hope you enjoy them as much as I did. They made me smile and that ultimately made me feel better! Tulips are my favorite flower! Love the pink shades on those blue and white lamps, would not have thought of that one! The cottages and bright colors make me want to be outside in a garden or just sitting with a big ole glass of sweet tea reading under a shade tree! you know us southerner's make the best ever sweet tea! What makes you smile, what's your idea of spring, what do you do to feel better?

Wild Wednesday's! thats right...from now on that's what Wednesday is all about here at Chic Streak! Wild about color! I so enjoyed the little pick me up from the honeysuckle post that I decided we should have a color day. Hump day sounded like the perfect day for it too. Something to get us out of our rut, push us on thru til the end of the week, recharge, revive and reinspire!!!!! Sounds great doesn't it...think we can get all that from color? Ok, ok...maybe not ALL that but by gosh its sure worth a try! Especially since we're iced in again here! Picaso said, "color like features, follow the changes of the emotions." So here goes nothing...let me know what you think and if you do get something out of it. Is there a color you'd like to see and get some inspiration from? Happy hump day!!!!

Wow...we actually had about 5 inches of snow on the ground when we got up this morning! I know you guy's get tired of us southerner's whining and crying about the weather but we just can't help it. We're all at home today and since its so cold I can stay curled up in the bed with all my fluffy covers, laptop and a big ole cup of hot chi tea! Later this afternoon I'll move on to hot chocolate...yummy!!! But the point would be, that I don't have to leave the comfort of my own bed! So let's talk about beds...that's the one thing I think you should NEVER scrimp on. Always buy at least 300 thread count linens and did I mention pillows? Lots of pillows!!! It doesn't mean expensive either. You can pick up sales at all the stores and you can shop Marshall, TJMax and Ross and get excellent deals on fantastic bedding. My idea of the perfect bed probably stems from when I was a little girl and would spend the night with Grandmother. She had a four poster bed and it seemed so big and fluffy. You had to climb in to it and then the whole thing just seemed to envelop you in comfort. You'd sink down and pull those soft warm covers up around you and it was like sleeping in the clouds! The only thing that could make this better for me would be a fireplace in here! Here are a few of my fav's!! Whats your idea of a perfect bed or bedroom? I am always looking for new fabulous finds for bed and bath...suggestion's or comments anyone?

BRRRRR!!!! Feels like we are frozen solid here! I know, we really aren't but this is East Texas after all! We are not use to such cold weather and it appears as though Mother Nature forgot about that! We've always said that if you don't like the weather here just hang on a minute because it'll change! Well it has and we are freezing! So to warm the soul, how about some fireplaces. I tried really hard to find only ones that had acutuall fires going but believe it or not some people only use those things for looks! Go figure!!!!! How do you decorate your fireplace, do you only decorate the mantel, do you use it, do you change it up in the summer time? What do you do??? Hope everyone is staying warm and can be parked in front of it because its going to get worse!!! Stay warm all!

As soon as Pantone's released this years color as Honeysuckle it was popping up all over the place. I don't know about you guy's, but when I think of honeysuckle its not pink, its yellow! Guess that's because that's the color of the little flower I was seeing growing up. Apparently I was wrong! I'm a lover of pink but most people, men in general, are not going to have that in their den or bedroom. its a cute little girls color. I think it would work if you use it sparingly or as an accent color. I thought since its so cold and so drearily gray out there we'd play with color. Here are a few of things honeysuckle! I could live in some of these rooms, how about you? What do you think of them? Oh...and end it all with a great little pink polish, which I would so use right now if I had it!!
